Chapter 56
Chapter 56
(18.3)
Men and women within the tribe, as long as they did not have children, whether they were united or separated, were all free. And no one would interfere too much about what they did, even the chief. More than a year had passed, and Yi Jia knew that Naonao still had not given up completely her heart for Li Mang. And it seemed as if she was unwilling to disclose their relationship in front of the tribe.
This made him feel as if he had miscalculated his move, made him feel defeated. But that didn’t matter, what mattered was that he had to seize this opportunity, to have one last bargaining chip for the next tribal leader election. After returning from that one-man hunt, he heard about the woman who was standing in front of him for the first time.
Naonao had never gotten pregnant, whether it was with Li Mang or later with him. But he wasn’t worried that she would have a fertility problem, because there was no other woman in the tribe who seemed better suited to bear offspring than her. He believed that from now on, as long as he worked hard, Naonao would definitely bear his fruit like a crop field. So based on his previous experience, he waited for Naonao to be around that period, to ask her to go to the stream outside the forest. At that time, she was still unhappy and a little angry with him, but it didn’t matter, she quickly surrendered to his attack, just like before. As he was about to leave, he found her hidden behind the grass.
At that moment, he could have bet ten snakeskins that he saw panic and fear in her eyes. But almost in the blink of an eye, those emotions disappeared, and she no longer seemed to be very afraid of him.
And without even thinking about it, he blocked her from making an appearance and took Naonao away before she could notice anything.
When he later recalled the actions he did without even thinking at that time, he finally came to the conclusion that he had become interested in her, and the corresponding will to fight also followed along.
